Strawberry salsa
This tangy dip or topping is just one fun way to use fruits in savory recipes.
The spring and summer seasons bring delicious fruit, starting with fresh strawberries showing up at farmers markets and stone fruit not far behind.
While these fruits are the perfect sweet and refreshing treat in and of themselves, they’re also fun to use in savory preparations. Try this peach salsa or beautiful orange and olive salad.
This strawberry salsa is essentially a salsa fresca made with strawberries instead of tomatoes. You can serve strawberry salsa with pita chips, over fish, or over a bowl of black beans and rice.
